The Old Rugged Cross

On a hill, far away
 Stood an old rugged cross
 The emblem of suffering and shame
 And I love that old cross
 Where the dearest and best
 For a world of lost sinners was slain
 So, I'll cherish the old rugged cross
 'Til my trophies at last I lay down
 I will cling to the old rugged cross
 And exchange it someday for a crown
 ♪
 On that old rugged cross
 Stained with blood, so divine
 A wondrous beauty I see
 It was on that old cross
 Jesus suffered and died
 He pardoned and sanctified me
 So, I'll cherish the old rugged cross
 'Til my trophies at last I lay down
 I will cling to the old rugged cross
 And exchange it someday for a crown
 I will cling to the old rugged cross
 And exchange it someday for a crown
